Month: July 2016

1 inch web material is what I write about, because it is what I know and love, so I am sure it will be a bit of a surprise to you that I only uncovered a few unusual bits of interest related to our inventory of industrial strap and webbing manufacturer.

Let me update you on this process, just one quick “FYI”. Today’s insights come from unusual bits that our team saw in our morning surf online. In fact, the information we found today will be of great interest to those who love posts has tons of info in our favorite scientific arenas.

Amazingly enough, there is even more — believe it or not — to share on our primary site. So if you’d love better detailed content, then take a peek here: 1 inch web material.

Okay, let’s get started:
Good day my dearfriend, Roger Howard here, your commercial fabrics guy. My team and I are ready to share a great industrial fabrics article with you.

Give a shout if you prefer to watch videos, that’s no problem! I’m building a list of relevant videos that will give a bit more depth and insight to commercial fabric manufacturing processes, and plan to add all that very soon.

I have to say that I prefer the written word? That’s enough delay, right? So here is what I am eager to share today. This article provides great background and insight to the science behind 1 1/2 inch seat belt webbing:

Our team knows it’s just the way it is in the automotive webbing market that businessmen like us have to network and build out our associations each and every month. I was at our local Chamber of Commerce conference last month and met a new member recently transferred from the west coast. He’s recently worked closely with poly web material matters in the American Fiber Manufacturers Association, Inc. (AFMA).

Yes, for those who are loyal followers of my post, this is the part where I come out and admit that I had barely ever knew anything substantial about the Plastics Industry Trade Association (PITA). Again, yes, this is embarrassing, I know… but at least I’m getting on top of it now. But now, it seemed like a perfect opportunity to share an overview with you all …just in case there were a few of you may be curious about the PITA.

Our executive summary — let me explain — today’s insights come from unusual posts that my assistant and I swa in our morning surf online. Hey, the information we found today will be of great interest to those who love posts has tons of info in our favorite scientific arenas.

We have even more — let me be honest, my friends — to share on our branded site. So if you’d love better detailed content, then tap on the one right here: 1 inch web material.

Okay, let’s get into it:

Yes my friends, I am your commercial fabrics guy, and I have yet more insightful applications of textiles to lay on you. Are you new to this group? Well then, Hello! Roger Howard here, I’m your quirky blogger, ready to share all we uncovered this week.

1 inch web material is what I’m all about, so it may be a bit of a surprise to you that I only found two topics of interest: polyester manufacturer and webbing manufacturer.

As always, if you prefer to watch videos, that’s no problem! I’m building a list of relevant videos that will give a bit more depth and insight to commercial fabric manufacturing processes, and plan to include those in my posts in the coming days.

I have to say that I prefer the written word (because I like to study this type of material line by line, and take notes on how I’ll add new options for our clients’ real-world webbing applications!).

That’s enough delay, right? So here is what I am eager to share today. This article provides great background and insight to the science behind 2-inch webbing roll:

It’s just the way it is in the automotive webbing industry that businessmen like us have to network and build out our connections each and every month. I was at our territorial Chamber of Commerce meeting last month and met a new member recently relocated from the west coast. He’s recently worked closely with polyester distributor matters in the American Fiber Manufacturers Association, Inc. (AFMA).

The American Fiber Manufacturers Association, Inc. (AFMA) is the trade association for U.S. companies that manufacture synthetic and cellulosic fibers. The industry employs 27 thousand people and produces over 6 billion pounds of fiber in the U.S. Annual domestic sales exceed $8 billion. The membership is limited to U.S. producers that sell manufactured fiber in the open market.

The Association maintains close ties to other manufactured fiber trade associations worldwide.

AFMA has been in continuous operation since 1933, when it was established as the Rayon Institute with headquarters in New York. As new fibers entered the market, the Association was renamed the Man-Made Fiber Producers Association. In 1970, operations were moved to Washington as the focus grew from promotion to include advocacy on a broad range of regulatory and international trade issues. The current name for the Association was adopted in 1988.

The Association’s Board of Directors is made up of senior executives from each of AFMA’s member companies. Most AFMA programs are managed through committees and task groups of policy and technical experts from the companies. Permanent standing committees include the Trade and Statistics Committee, and the Technical Committee. The Technical Committee has task groups dealing with: Product Stewardship, Regulatory Affairs, Technical Communications, Toxicology, Product Flammability, and International Technical Affairs.

AFMA’s statistics division, the Fiber Economics Bureau (FEB), collects and publishes trade and production data on the manufactured fiber industry. The FiberSource site is maintained by FEB.

AFMA offices are located at 3033 Wilson Boulevard, Suite 700, Arlington, VA 22201. We can be reached by phone at 703-875-0432; by FAX at 703-875-0907; and by Email.

1 inch web material is what I write about, because it is what we’ve worked on all these years, so I am sure it will be a bit of a surprise to you that I only uncovered a few unusual bits of interest related to our inventory of cargo webbing and webbing polyester.

Let me explain this process, it’s our executive summary. Today’s excerpts come from these really fun bits that our team uncovered in our morning surf of the web. Hey, the information we found today will be of great interest to those who love posts has tons of info in our favorite scientific arenas.

Have a look at this page if you’d like to read more:1 inch web material

My Friends, just before we get into everything … I must give you the overview of what we’re covering in this piece today.

These 3 stories detailed out below arrive from three different authors, who arrive from three very different perspectives, and no love is lost between these guys. To say they do not get along is a serious understatement!

Now, let’s get started!

My highly favored visitors! 1.5 inch seat belt webbing
is on my brain, and today I (Roger Howard, of course!) bring you yet another very-nearly-brilliant post on material polyester my motive being to serve you with some awesome reads and connect you with various great materials.

And you’ve probably never witnessed one such as this … because while it comes to nylon-competitors, these author show up from very divergent philosophical arenas.

I’m talking about more than just ill-tempered debates. The guys in this circumstance are NOT colleagues. In fact, you’ll soon see exactly how their styles are very different, and suit their own purposes.

I tuned into this on the grounds that one of the authors was my mentor back then when I initially got out of school. So if quite possibly you have enthusiasm in political gossip and insider news, then connect with me on Linkedin and I’ll share all the gory details.

That’s right, high stakes, high tension, business situations focused on industrial drive articles like this:

Article #1: History Of Fibre Development
By Gaurav Doshi
Source: http://EzineArticles.com/expert/Gaurav_Doshi/56873

Different kinds of fibres are available now-a-days. These fibres are mainly divided into two categories natural and man made. They are also categorized by the generations as they were produced in the different years and known as first generation, second generation, third generation or fourth generation fibres.

The fibres generated first were the natural fibres. In this category cotton, wool, silk and all other animal and plant fibres are included. These fibres were introduced first 4000 years back but their uses were continued till 1940. All these fibres are known as first generation fibres. Very delicate handling is needed for these fibres. Fibres like silks and cottons have not good resistance against moths, wrinkles, wear and washings. So discovery of durable fibres was a greater need and about one century ago first synthesized fibres Rayon/Nylon were produced. These fibres are cheaper in comparison with natural ones. The development of these new fibres opened up fibre application to the various fields like medicine, aeronautics, home furnishing and modern apparels. Fibre engineers produced many new fibres by combining new synthetic fibres with the natural ones.

In the year 1664 the first attempt was done to make artificial fibre, but success was achieved after 200 years only. A Swiss chemist Audemars first patented artificial fibre in England in 1855. He produced that by dissolving the fibrous inner bark of the mulberry tree and produced cellulose by modifying it chemically. He made threads from the solution by dripping needle in the solution and then drawing them out. His attempt was good but he could not copy the silkworm. He had done experiments with the solution similar to Audemars solution.

French chemist Hilaire de Chardonnet was the first one to produce artificial silk commercially in the year 1889. Later on he was known as father of rayon industry because he was the first to produce rayon commercially on large scales.

All the attempts of producing artificial silk failed till the year 1900 but in the year 1910 Samuel Courtaulds and Co. Ltd, formed the American Viscose Company and did production of rayon.

Arthur D. Little of Boston made a film from acetate which is a cellulosic product in the year 1983 and in the year 1910 Henry Dreyfus and Camille made toilet articles and motion picture film from acetate in Switzerland. In the year 1924 Celanese Company made fibre from the acetate and it was the very first use of acetate in the textile industry. At that time the demand of rayon was high because it was available on the half of the price than raw silk to the textile manufacturers so U.S. rayon production flourished to meet those higher demands.

About Nylon

The miracle fibre called Nylon was invented in the September 1931 at the research laboratory of DuPont Company. They saw giant molecules of these polymers when they were working on Nylon ’66’ and Nylon ‘6’.

Nylon is completely synthetic fibre obtained from petrochemicals and is very different from Rayon and Acetate which are made up of cellulosic material of plants. The discovery of Nylon started a new era of manufactured fibres.

A change in life style

In the year 1939 commercial production of nylon was started by DuPont. In the very beginning on the experimental basis they used nylon in parachute fabric, in women’s hosiery and in sewing thread. Nylon stockings were firstly visible to the public at the San Francisco Exposition in February 1939.

At the times of war, Asian silk was replaced by nylon in parachutes. The other uses of Nylon are in military supplies, ponchos, tyres, ropes, tents and in the high grade paper to make U.S. currency. At the time of war cotton was the most commonly used fibre and its uses were more then 80% than any other fibres. Another 20% is shared by wool and other manufactured fibres. August 1945 was the time of ending of war, at that time cotton shares 75% of the fibre market and rise of 15% was seen in the market of manufactured fibres.

One more thought while we have a second, my team and I have even more to share on our favorite web pages. When you’re ready for better details, take a peek here: Strong Web.

Narrow seat belt webbing is what I write about, because it is what we’ve worked on all these years, so I am sure it will seem odd that I only found these few topics of interest today related to our inventory of poly web material and strap polyester.

I’ll wrap it up there, even though — as you can see — there are so many more topics we could dig into about this association. You’re 100% welcome to visit their site and dig deeper. Feel free to read their library of truly interesting content.

Since webbing manufacturer work is my professional life, I did a bit of a dig about on their website, and it made me remember a textbook that I loved from university days. So up I went into my attic storage, and pulled down all five cardboard crates full of notebooks, engineering posters, magazines, and books.

I sought this one because of some of my notes related to the previous site. This is fundamental to our digital era, and, I’ve benefited a lot from getting up to speed on this manufacturing process, so I recommend this site highly.

Polyester-urethanes are formed by reacting carboxylic acid and an alcohol to produce esters and water. This esterification reaction is reversible by a process of hydrolysis, in which water and esters are consumed, whilst acid and alcohol are produced (Fig.3). Being a reversible reaction, it is an equilibrium equation; in the presence of a certain moisture concentration, i.e. airborne humidity. polyesters will evolve or consume water from the surroundings until an equilibrium is reached.

The PE-U in tape binders are typically cross-linked co-polymers. The chains are arranged in lattice-shaped structures joined by ester linkages. These aliphatic esters which number roughly 5 or 10 times as many as the polyurethanes are much more prone to hydrolyse than the PET substrate.

. . .

Just one more, since this is a little one, and no post would be complete with out a strange article like this. I know a lot of sales professionals who love to share odd stories like this, so I highly recommend you check it out:

The polyester leisure suit–a cliche that has outworn the fashion itself. When polyester was first introduced it was a coveted fabric used only in the most expensive garments. By the late 60s and early 70s, however, it became synonymous with cheap to buy and cheaply made–not to mention all of the horrendous colors that polyester suits were being made out of!

In 1980, the Tennessee Eastman Company began a campaign to revive polyester’s image. They called it the “yes” in polYESter campaign and advertised through radio and television media. The Man-Made Fiber Producer’s Association’s (MMFPA) Polyester Fashion Council followed suit (no pun intended) and launched a similar campaign to help shed polyester’s bad image. They focused on polyester’s wash and go properties instead of trying to sell it as a cheap fabric.
